Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bears shredded theirs for Jaishawn Barham. He came off 56 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Roberts pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
They jumped the gun on Derrick Moore, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jaishawn Barham
Value said wait; Jaishawn Barham in the 60th overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Taking Michael Taaffe in pick 89 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason Reiger well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
A slide stopped in pick No. 239, with Jeremiah Wright worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in No. 241 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
